Various Venues

Afrikana is a film festival dedicated to showcasing the cinematic works of people of color from around the world. We place a special focus on the global Black narrative. Our mission is to present high-quality, well-crafted stories that celebrate the diaspora and encourage people to connect.

Afrikana is back with our a four-day festival full of dynamic indie film, live performances, panel discussions, meet & greets, happy hours, workshops and parties at some of Richmond's flyest spaces!

With over 40 films from across the diaspora and filmmakers and artists from across the country, we're taking Afrikana and the RVA Arts District to a whole new level!! From our cocktail hours to mixers, VIP events, and epic after-parties, it's going down in RVA!
